 Biden will do better against climate change but also because she wants to fall back in love with a country she now finds repellent.

The ugliest sides of America have been even more clearly shown since Trump's been in office. The ugliest among us are the white supremacists who've taken their hoods off for all to see. Repellent indeed.

That America's big oil and gas companies back Trump is one more reason people concerned about the environment and future generations should find Trump's America repellent.

People vote specific ways for different reasons, all valid.

Trump is pro-life, which prevents killing of babies. If that is your primary issue, there isn't any choice.

Trump is pro-business with fewer and fewer rules. If you are a business owner, less regulations helps you have and keep more money.

If your bank and investment accounts are significantly higher today than they were 4 yrs ago, some people will vote to keep the current guy. The world works based on money. The more you and your family have, the better for your family, your kids.

If you dislike having a liar in office, Trump isn't your guy.

If you think climate change and nature need to be saved, Trump isn't your guy.

If you think social justice, being fair to everyone, more, but not cheaper, health care for all is important, Trump isn't your guy.

If you are pro-abortion, Trump isn't your guy.

If you are a fiscal conservative, flip a coin. Trump has raised the national debt more than any other President, ever in 1 term. Democrats as President, and in control of the House and Senate is really scary for govt spending. A Democrat as President and in control of the Senate with a House controlled by Republicans might be the best option.

If you are in the middle like me, we're screwed.

Trump forced and cajoled a past mistress of his to get an abortion. He's not 'pro-life', not 'pro-birth', not 'pro-' anything except himself. He's the most egotistical arrogant pushover and lowlife on the planet Earth.

Just to clarify, "pro-life" does not prevent looking babies - the law on murder does that. What it does is prevent abortion.

I think the majority of the worlds population is more excited about the American Civil War. Most of the Middle East, Russia, China, SK, NK, Okinawa, Latin America and even penguins in Antarctica.

If Trump wins, he’ll proudly fly his “Trump 2020” flag at the front of his store that sells military memorabilia, facing the village square where U.S. forces fought off Nazi occupiers in 1944 and the church where bullet holes left by the squirt of a machine gun remain visible in the confessional’s wooden panels.

The delicious irony is lost on this clueless ex-soldier right-winger from France:

Trump is certainly not a pacifist, but neither is he a militarist and, no doubt unbeknownst to the misguided Monsieur Tanne, he's got the "bone spurs" to prove it.

Leave aside the US, even my own country is divided between Trump and Biden. The government has openly declared their support for Trump so things will get interesting if Biden wins.

Doubt it will be THAT interesting.

Throwing support for Trump is smart because he's a petty man and will remember it.

Not supporting Biden won't matter, because he is a statesman and will get over it - probably not even mention it.

Trump is pro-life, BTW. So is his wife. He decided to change when his political needs required fundamental Christian support. Without those people, he wouldn't have any chance of being elected. That 20% of the US population is hard-core about 1 issue and 1 issue only; ending all abortions. To that group, abortions are the single largest killer of US citizens every year and must be stopped. Trump has placed conservative, pro-life, people in key govt positions. Most Catholics are pro-life. I left that cult years ago.

I'm pro-abortion and think forced birth is inhumane. I also think the death penalty is good for society and should be used much more often for violent crimes and for some white-collar crimes.

Trump doesn't seem to care about lives after someone is born.

The US is definitely divided. It isn't about Biden, it is about not being Trump.

So much for the "blue wave." Democrats need to learn to stop calling rural people dumb, stupid, (and I've heard much worse). They need to listen and change some of their platform to make a huge difference in the people willing to vote Democratic. It isn't like the far, far, far, left will go any where else.

It's pretty much looking to be a Biden win. Biden surged past Trump in Michigan and Pennsylvania is looking like Biden is on the momentum. Any way people try to spin this Trump does not have enough electoral votes.
